Computer tasting notes - IBM electronic tongue

Post by akzy »

IBM have started talking about their e-tongue device which will use 'AI' to 'taste' liquids. Who needs to make tasting notes when a computer does it for you? :lol:

All mocking aside, it could be very interesting. It will have to first build up a library of known tastes (I suggest that IBM train it on TPF's flawless tasting notes) but after that, it could work quite well.

and the arXiv pre-print paper;

I once invested in a start-up company that was making an electronic nose, but had no idea that anyone was working on an electronic tongue. I guess the technology is more or less the same.

Interesting article.
Top Ports in 2023: Taylor 1896 Colheita, b. 2021. A perfect Port.

2024: Niepoort 1900 Colheita, b.1971. A near perfect Port.

Another interesting recent paper which looks at using an artificial tongue to detect fake whiskey. The methods discussed could easily be adapted to Port as well I believe.

In case the above doesn't work, I believe this is open access version (can't check myself) http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/189433/
